    Mate we had him in at 16, he played against Rangers at 16. Have we ever had a player at 16 play against Rangers? Ange gave him a pathway into the first team, he was starting to get games. He just chose Liverpool and looking at how he’s started down there, it doesn’t look like that was a wrong decision for him personally and professionally.

    I could be wrong, but wasn't Aitken 16 when he first played against them?

    Do we have a sell on clause, getting far too much attention on here if not.

    Will get pushed further put the picture once that Dutch guy who was stuck in that * tavpens pocket comes in.

    No doubt the poxy reserve league set up doesn’t help, but neither does our lack of top level training infrastructure.

    You can go back as far as Gordon Strachan to see it being lambasted. We still don’t have the full-size indoor pitch that Ronny Deila requested.

    Doubt any loan would be with us. Can't see any option to buy and at that point we are just developing someone elses player.

    Thats fine if you don't have a regular reliable transfer budget but don't think it really works for us.

    Probably because he's on 15k a week and can afford to invest in these properties now or just wants somewhere to stay with family. If he goes on loan he goes to the Championship.

    Get in!!!

    Love it! The Kyogo - Abada - Jota trio, very fitting that those three are on the scoresheet.

    Aberdeen would be a great loan move for him

    What sort of ‘highlights’ were those :56:

    Young lad will definitely have a cracking career but that could have been a video of any young eager guy trying to impress. The most impressive part was controlling the baw on his chest on the run.
